What is the relevance of natural language understanding (NLU) to artificial intelligence?

assistant
Natural language understanding (NLU) is the ability of a computer system to process and understand human language. It is an integral part of artificial intelligence (AI) because it allows machines to interact with humans more effectively and in more natural ways. NLU helps AI systems to reason and make decisions, as well as understand user intent and preferences.
